[kopete] How to install newest source in SUSE for all users
Okay I did the configure make and make install on SUSE 10 but it only upgraded the version 12 beta 1 (which yahoo doesnt work in) now my problem is how do I do the upgrade to 12 beta 2 so that it ugrades all users. When I log into root I can launch it fine. But if I log into my account it launches the old 12 beta 1 version. Thanks for any help.
RE: [kopete] How to install newest source in SUSE for all users
hee following:
Suse 9.3
I've been updating by complining from sources for a while, was always okay. Last version was 0.12 Beta1. Today I downloaded the sources for Beta2, compiled and installed as used to and it still says it would be 0.12 Beta1 and I can't see anychange since Beta1. I haven't tried logging it with root an launching it from there like Packrat described...
Thank you for help, eh!

Are you really sure that beta 2 is installed in your KDE installation directory? It looks like beta 1 was installed in the right place but somehow you've specified another prefix for beta 2.

not sure kind of new to this how do I specify the dir?
At the configure step:
|
Source code
|
1
|
./configure --prefix=/your/prefix/here
|

standard is I guess: /opt/kde3/bin/kopete
::: chEErs roN :::
The standard prefix on SUSE is /opt/kde3, so your configure line should look like:
|
|
Source code
|
1
|
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --enable-debug
|
then do the normal 'make' and 'make install'.
There are also several resources for compiling Kopete available online. See the kopete website or the KDE wiki for more information on compiling kopete

I now compiled and installed kopete like that and it still says it'd be kopete 0.11.92 ).12 Beta1) why that? Damn...

having the same problem....
no updating at all after installation on SUSE10, neither as root nor as user.
which kopete command replies /opt/kde3/bin/kopete I think this is default, but, after all problems arise with the first kopete i compile, I always updated throught rpms before, using YaST2, and installations were fine.
hope suse10 rpms are soon available....
- Can you try to "make uninstall" the existing Kopete version and then install the 0.12 beta 2 again?
- If you do

Source code
|

|
ls -l /opt/kde3/bin/kopete
|
is the date equal to the date/time you've installed the new Kopete?

yes, same here

how do I exactly use make uninstall for the existing installation? Thank you!
::: chEErs roN :::
The best way is to extract the beta 1 tarball again and run the ./configure step from there with the right --prefix. From there, run "make uninstall" to uninstall all beta1 files.
A quicker way is to run "make uninstall" from the beta2 directory, but there's a slight chance some files won't be removed then.

holly crab, i've just done that but that and compiled and installed beta 2 afterwards but it kept all my accounts and it still says beta1... holly...
Thank you for further support in that issue...
::: chEErs roN :::
holly again, now I made the make uninstall prodcedure again and deleted all folders in /opt/kde3 those were named kopete to try it again and now configure doesn't seem to run thru anymore, it's stuck at following line:

checking if supplied libgadu-copy can be used... yes
cp: cannot create regular file `./kopete/protocols/gadu/libgadu/libgadu-config.h': Permission denied
checking for long long... yes
mv: overwrite `./kopete/protocols/gadu/libgadu/libgadu-config.h', overriding mode 0644?

why the hell? Thank you for help!

make (un)install should normally be run as root, especially when operating in /opt/kde3
